lyrics

Saint Jenny sits on the sofa
A glass of wine in her hand
She says, "Poor boy, you could’a had me once,
But you never did understand"
Her new toy’s out on the porch, finishing his cigarette
But I ain’t never been nobody’s master
And I ain’t never gonna be nobody’s pet

Now Johnny the bus stop boxer
Sells nickels a quarter apiece
To the motorists and morticians
And the Hampshire County Police
He says, "won't you do me a favor boy? I’d be forever in your debt"
But I ain’t never been nobody’s master
And I ain’t never gonna be nobody’s pet

Well Helen will always have Paris
Though she makes her home in Troy
I never seen so many ships set sail
Since I was just a little boy
The prince called for his daughter, she said, "I ain’t quite ready yet"
But I ain’t never been nobody’s master
And I ain’t never gonna be nobody’s pet

Well if Mary’s the Queen of Arkansas
Then I’m the Ace of Spades
She says, "I don’t know if you’re high or low
But I can tell you’ve just been played"
Well I know some folks out there would take that as a threat
But I ain’t never been nobody’s master
And I ain’t never gonna be nobody’s pet

I ain’t never been nobody’s master
And I ain’t never gonna be nobody’s pet
